William Graham (Conservative AM for South Wales East) responding to the latest Ambulance response time statistics for September 2010:
“Throughout the summer months 4 out of every 10 emergency call-outs in Monmouthshire failed to make the Assembly target response time of 8 minutes. During September this increased to 5 out of 10, as Monmouthshire returned to the bottom of the Wales response rate table”.
“65.9% of emergency calls within the Aneurin Bevan Health Board met the 8 minute target response time; however the response rate for Monmouthshire was 51.9%”
“I am aware of the commitment from our A&E staff and paramedics to make this service more efficient; and applaud their efforts to ensure we have the most effective emergency treatment”.
“I hope that there is no cause for concern and the September figures are an anomaly in a recent trend of improving response time for Monmouthshire”.
